This month’s visitor comments come from Leslie in Oklahoma. She visited Branson back in August and wanted to share her experience with everyone. She did so through a myspace post. I ran across it and thought it make a great visitor’s corner link for this month.

Area Resort Gets a Makeover

• April 15th, 2007

For its guests, Branson has many great lodging options from which to choose. Motels, hotels, campgrounds, and RV parks just to name a few. Because of this, many accommodations providers are competing for the business of Branson vacationers. This post has been written to feature one resort that has certainly made the statement, “We want your business”! And did not just say it, they are acting on it.

Vickery Resort on Table Rock Lake Branson, Missouri

Located on magnificent Table Rock Lake, in the heart of the Ozarks is newly rebuilt, totally renovated, family resort designed to accommodate the whole group. According to Vickery’s website, which seems to have been recently reconstructed, they have brand new condominiums and an entirely new look.

I was able to locate some background information on the “about us” page of the website. Beyond that page, the site explains some various activities available on the well-known Missouri lake as well as some of the area’s most popular attractions.

Also, the Vickery Resort website has a convenient tool for checking condo availability and an online reservation system designed to make planning your stay quick and easy.

If you’re seeking a condo for the family to enjoy during your next trip to Branson, MO, this is definitely one to look into. It’s brand new, overlooks Table Rock Lake and is adjacent to a state park.

More Than an Indoor Pool

• July 15th, 2006

When doing research on what people want in their trip to Branson, Missouri I find all kinds of fun and interesting things. The other day I was researching what people look for in the hotels and discovered that many prefer indoor pools. If that’s you, keep reading - particularly if you have kids.

Talk About An Indoor Pool

If you’re the type that goes full throttle for your kids, this is the hotel you’ve been searching for! Grand Country Inn has an indoor waterpark. That’s right, a waterpark right inside the Inn. There is all kinds of activity-focused pools including a basketball pool and a toddlers pool. However, if your ‘youngins’ like to relax there’s also a lazy river. Makes me wish I was a kid again!

Pet Friendly Lodging

• July 15th, 2006

If you’ve got some “four legged family members” you appreciate that vacationing can be a tad more difficult for some. No doubt you want to have your dogs or cats or both welcomed along with the rest of your family when you arrive at your hotel or motel.

I took the time to actually call some of the area hotels/motels to see which ones welcomed pets. I was shocked that they vary so much as to the procedure. For example, some have no limit on the number of animals and others do. Also, there was one that didn’t even limit the kind of animal allowed, they told me they even “had a monkey stay there once”. So here you go if you are looking for pet friendly hotels or motels in Branson.

I Resorted to Using a Dictionary

• July 7th, 2006

Do you have a concept of what a resort is? I thought I knew what one was until I noticed that there are many types of lodging that are referred to as “resorts”.

I would see hotel-looking resorts, cabin style resorts, and even resorts that looked like you average neighborhood. And it seems as though there is alwaya some sort of special feature attached to a resort. There are golf resorts, ski resorts, and even fishing resorts.

So I decided to just look it up. Amazing isn’t it? You can make a resort out of just about anything you want.

Featured Branson Resorts

Since just about anything can be a resort, I decided to take a moment to include a couple of the Branson resorts many visitors seem to appreciate.

Big Cedar Lodge

Located on Table Rock Lake just south of Branson, Big Cedar Lodge is a resort area for the nature lovers frequenting the Ozarks in search of peaceful scenic relaxation. This resort has many facets, each with a little twist on the nature theme that consistently permeates the decor of all its parts.
